I'm managing Independiente in the Argentine Div 2, relishing the challenge of trying to restore a once great team to the top again. Love managing in Argentina because you get two stabs at winning the title every year and the league really is wide open, which makes it far more interesting.

I managed to get Pablo Mouche on loan from Boca for just over £1.5 million, but added a future transfer clause of £5 million. He struggled at first and only got 10 goals in season 1, but in season 2 he currently has 18 in 18 games. When I played Boca for 5 seasons he was getting me 40 plus goals...

Hi everyone, I'm in season 4 of a game with Real Madrid and have started to notice players who I have not signed appearing in my first team squad. I have checked all the team settings to stop assistants signing players or offering contracts etc and have not been on holiday. However, ever time I...
